thestringpuller: then i
the merchant decide "well i don't feel like refunding you"
mike_c: and now
the merchant is responsible for returning
the coins.
thestringpuller: so
that
the
tx doesn't get announced
to a large % of
the network quickly
thus coinbase doesn't hear it so it keeps refreshing invoices and I send 2 or 3
tx's
mike_c: thestringpuller: so
they say "send 1 btc
to stringpuller in
the next 10 mins
to buy
this book", and if it gets sent in 20 mins
they still send along
the coins?
jurov: maybe
they use
that oracle of 9 chumps?
jurov: Martin
told
the Wall Street Journal
that a key
to regulatory approval was
the proprietary price index, which he called “a
true neutral arbiter of
the bitcoin price on a 24-hour basis
that’s not susceptible
to manipulation.”
thestringpuller: the proper
thing
to do would be
to automatically refund
the coins. or hold
them in escrow
to return
to
the sendee.
thestringpuller: thus
they create a situation where
the merchant will have
to refund a purchase if both invoices are filled
thestringpuller: mike_c: when an invoice expires and
they generate a new invoice
they still send forward coins sent
to
the expired invoice
to
the merchant
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2014 16:03:20; jurov: mircea_popescu when are F.DERP asks starting? or you just sold all of it
to yourself? :D
jurov: thestringpuller only mp sold f.derp
to himself
thestringpuller: i
thought someone would want
to sell derp shares and get rid of
them
jurov: you'd have
to offer more
than
that for mp
to consider selling his precious derp shares
jurov: by popular request, F.DERP was added
to CoinBr
jurov: paste it here, i'll
try
to feed it my node
gribble: poutine was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 15 weeks, 4 days, 15 hours, 55 minutes, and 10 seconds ago: <poutine> No, but I am developing some cluster based
transactional services for it
jurov: and i wonder about nigger^W dust
transaction spam in debug log
thestringpuller: weird
tx's announced from my node are
taking forever
to be picked up by
the network...
diametric: I said might, so I defer
to
the experts.
diametric: asciilifeform: seems like
the
TRNG
they implement
that can be utilized separately might be nice.
thestringpuller: if you can recommend a shop and
they give you a cutback on
the order "finders fee" or something i would consider
thestringpuller: but i'd rather you get
the benefit of
the business nubbins`
nubbins`: thestringpuller few hundred i suppose,
there's a point where larger shops w/ automatic presses would offer better pricing
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller i did a pile of bare metal automation for
them once upon a
time
ThickAsThieves: "We predict
that Bitcoin’s lasting legacy will be
the innovations it has spurred
to payment
technology, although
the payment system will remain dominated by large processors because of economies of scale."
thestringpuller: when he meets with home office for
the 2015 FY i may have a huge order for you
nubbins`: big companies like blue. don't you want your company
to be big? have some blue.
mike_c: it's
the default font. what's wrong with blue? it's soothing.
ben_vulpes: what
the fuck is with outlook users and blue email
text?
nubbins`: they're cheap as shit and
they make
the best coffee
nubbins`: but srsly
tho, if you're making coffee in a drip machine,
try
to find a pour-over device
nubbins`: shit, if
they
take
too long pulling
the shot you're fucked
nubbins`: oo yeah, you've got what, 30s
to get
that espresso
to your lips?
nubbins`: but a more sensible solution would be, y'know,
to prepare your cup in such a way
that it's not so bitter in
the first place
nubbins`: i've heard of people adding salt
to grounds
to eliminate bitterness
chetty: they roast coffee with sugar here ..to improve
the flavor or smthin
nubbins`: i've roasted beans
that have
tasted like blueberries
nubbins`: chetty:
the flavor descriptions are guaranteed
to be over
the
top, but
there's some seriously eye-opening shit out
there
nubbins`: coffee has
tons of varietals, just like weed
nubbins`: you wouldn't believe
the breadth of flavors
nubbins`: i roasted for
the better part of a year
nubbins`: ah ah. nah man,
these single-origin coffees are fucking amazing
nubbins`: mircea_popescu if you didn't have coffee since 2004, you'd probably be surprised
that your local shop now offers Ethiopia Chelelektu Kochere instead of "medium roast"
ThickAsThieves: smoking a joint is just proper imo,
the vapes
taste nice n all, but make me feel like an addict
nubbins`: or vaporizing. now
that's a gentle way
to get killed
nubbins`: you get fried
to death otherwise
nubbins`: it's all about
the one-hitter nowadays
ThickAsThieves: you cant just
take a joint of 24%
THC
to
the head, i mean wtf
mircea_popescu: well done
to potheads,
this is like not having any coffee for a decade and
then it being like... wait i didn't recall it being like
this.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it may be
the case
that pot massively improved since i last had any back in
the prehistoric
times
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
try canada some
time
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: uh...
the
thing you just remembered
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i knowed a woman
that killed herself when her (old) husband died
mircea_popescu: "i know
this woman who wore black for some dude her entire life. she was my grandmother. i dun recall
the guy's name."
mircea_popescu: right,
that's what
the guy signing for
the rape-contract said
ThickAsThieves: i appreciate it as a value, just playing
the other side here
mircea_popescu: pretending
to interact with
things of unknown origin is a ridiculous position
to
take.
mircea_popescu: still you know, showing weakness of implementation does not invalidate
the principle
mircea_popescu: it's not even a matter of "you must", any more
than "you must read a fucking book" when you're 12.
mircea_popescu: everything is an iteration, yes. i don't personally care what anyone does, but
the
thing
that distinguishes me from your run of
the mill amoeba living on my penis
nubbins`: i want my
toilet
to have a per-flush royalty
ThickAsThieves: should every new lightbulb pay homage
to edison or whomever he had make it?
mircea_popescu: thus when bitfinex reimplements
that guy's idea but fails
to mention
that guy, bitfinex is jkust placing itself outside
the walls and
that's all.
mircea_popescu: if you don't care about what was noticed it's one
thing.
to pretend
to not care about who noticed
tho, it's untenable.
mircea_popescu: well
that's not a fair statement of wat happened, and
the noticing is noteworthy for
the same reason it's noticed in
the first place.
ThickAsThieves: really who gves a fuck
that some dude notices some shitty news agency being insenstive about some actor
mircea_popescu: in general, what distinguishes people from animals is
the ability of people
to
trace history.
ThickAsThieves: just a
testament
to its value, not sure if it's as damning as
the guy makes it out
to be
ThickAsThieves: news is no better
than a cliche now, no one knows or cares where it comes from before using it
mircea_popescu: And
the Reddit link cites
the source as... Reddit of course. Because apparently nobody creates anything anymore, and it all belongs
to Facebook,
Twitter, Reddit and Instagram, right assholes? Why bother doing journalism when you can wave a magic wand and say "INTERNET DID IT!"
